* NightmareFuel: Imagine going on that river race...
** The river race is at least several days. They had ''no'' adult supervision, could have died on ''several'' occasions (hypothermia from rainstorms, nearly drowning, or freezing to death) and the bullies take actions that almost result in the kids getting killed (especially notable is ''tricking them down a tributary where dynamite blasting was scheduled''). Exactly ''how'' are they ''not'' scarred for life?
*** Even the poster depicted them ''about to plummet down a waterfall!''
** The first instance when Charlie Brown hitches a ride with Snoopy. Considering how much of a daredevil he plays himself up to be, Snoopy would get him and Charlie Brown to the campsite without a scratch, right? Well, not before driving through a ''flock of bulls'' and provoking one to chase them down. Talk about man's best friend...
** When Cartoon Network aired the movie as part of its "Cartoon Theater" slot in the late 1990s, this was lampshaded with an ad that cheekily pointed out how treacherous the route is, noting that it "separates the men from the boys...the short, insecure, balding boys!"

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Not plot per se, but it's strange how this film doesn't take advantage of showing any rivalry for dominance between Lucy and Peppermint Patty. In fact, it's odd how for most of the film Lucy is relatively quiet and low-key regarding Patty calling the shots.



* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The end credits.

* RecycledScript: The runner of the Peanuts gang at camp. The waterbed scene is lifted from at least one other animated short and from the comic, and was reused in ''The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show''.

Is this an act that made Patty and any of the other girls irredeemable in the eyes of all?


** Peppermint Patty and the other girls vote that the boys must leave the cabin and sleep in the woods because girls need privacy. 1.) The boys weren't allowed to vote, which is discrimination. 2.) The boys were the ones who found the cabin in the first place, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished and allowed them in]]. The boys almost freeze to death and [[HypocriticalHumor Patty has the gall to say they're disrespecting democracy by saying it was unfair.]]
